Might as well ride the hot hand with the Astros and their top starter taking the ball.

The BJ’s simply can’t hit, no matter how good the opportunity or motivation. When they get home upper management will probably invoke the old “fire the manager” philosophy whether the guy deserves it or not. Whatever the combination of factors causing the disaster, this offense just does not produce, almost as if they are seeking a way to lose. Don’t read too much into that, I am not accusing the BJ’s of tanking or fixing, they just can’t get their collective feces together. The Cardinals have not seen the red hot Estrada since his Milwaukee days (2014), so there is really no familiarity between the Estrada of then and the Cardinal offense of now, which is OK, but no big deal.
